What is a passion party by Krista like?

I'm sure you all aren't quite sure what to expect at my Passion Parties. I want to ensure that everyone feels comfortable and know that's it's ok to talk about sex. Am i gonna be throwing big toys in your face? No, but you will have a chance to taste, smell, and touch many of our exclusive products and liven senses that you may have forgot about! The best is the party itself, they're always fun! Boredom, especially bedroom boredom, is a huge issue for a lot of couples and needs fixing, because you are worth it and deserve a passionate and updated love life! There's no longer a need to hush and stay quiet about what you're needing and feeling! I also want to mention that everything is confidential, unless I have your express permission to give your wish list to your lover for birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, all kinds of stuff!

Communication is KEY! We are not mind readers!! Communicate with your partner and explain what you're desiring and listen to theirs with NO judgement! This is essential!

So the parties....we'll have snacks, drinks, great company to be around, games, giveaways, and so much more. Don't be scared to attend a party, they are educational and tastefully done! Being a hostess makes you the queen of the night with tons of incentives! And your only job as a hostess is to host the place and invite the guests, that's it!! I take care of everything else!

That's all for now :) will be posting essential sex facts in the next blog...stay tuned!!

New Year, New Me!

This new year brings a new Krista and I couldn't be more excited! There's a transformation happening within the deeper parts of myself and it's healing.
Personal growth is the reason we are here! Whatever your beliefs are, that's always 1 constant in all religions/faiths-personal growth. We get so wrapped up in what we have to do on a daily basis and we forget to take care of ourselves and be constantly growing. Our obstacles in life are lessons, how we come out of them shows us what we're made of!
My whole approach to life is different than ever before; maybe it's just me turning 30!! But I'm done being a people pleaser and a doormat really. Loving me as I am, not as I could be, is my first step. I'm actually pretty awesome :)
I want you all to enjoy my blogs and I have tons of ideas for upcoming posts! If there's something you'd like my point of view on....let me know! Thanks for reading my morning thoughts!

I'M BACK!!!

     Hey everybody!!! I know I have kind of dropped off the face of the planet lately, depression really got the best of me through the holidays (I'll blog on that soon); BUT I'm back and back on the grid!!! And I have very exciting news, I have decided to become a Passion Party Consultant!  Is that not like SO ME??? It's perfect.  I honestly have wanted to do it for a while but spent time looking for the best company with the best products and I can finally say that I have found it and its Passion Parties!! One thing I really love is that it is educational and they provide constant training for me to know the most I can to help empower women and couples to regain maybe something they've lost.

     I'm also turning 30 next week!!!  My amazing friends are throwing a birthday party for me at a Sports Bar and we're gonna do Karaoke so I'm stoked about turning 30 actually; it's taken a few mental battles but I really am excited.  We do such stupid crap in our 20's and I have gained a lot of wisdom through my 20's and I'm ready to kick ass this year!  I have a completely different outlook on life and I'm using it! I am not on this earth to please anyone! I have my lessons in this life I need to learn and I have to do it, no one can do it for me! I'm learning things about myself and I would have never dreamed I would have made it this far honestly, but I have and I'm gonna rock it!

     That's all for now loves....stay tuned for some great articles and make sure to subscribe!!!

Sending out tons of love <3

"Relationships" Part One

I would like to do a series of articles based on the relationships we have in our lives; from spouses to siblings and those in between! I really hope you guys enjoy it, and if there are any subjects anyone would like talked about I would be more than happy to take suggestions.  Anyways, today I'm going to talk about my husband, Thomas, and I. Now I'm not writing on marriage because I'm some sort of expert; I have just gone through more counseling that most people and together Thomas and I have had some extraordinarily hard times and have learned some hard heartfelt lessons.

Firstly, I'd like to talk about bad mouthing your spouse behind their back.  Now as a woman I sadly love gossip (guilty pleasure, horrible I know) and it's so easy to fall into a trap of venting to a girlfriend or even your mom.  While venting is fine, healthy even, you have to stay respectful.  It's hard not to start calling names, possibly exaggerating even just to get your point across.  You're eventually gonna make up with your sweetie and things will go back to the way they were or even better.  But now you've got your friend/mom/whoever thinking ill of your other half.  Now you're in a spot!  And if so make it mutually agreed upon that there will be no bad mouthing behind eachothers back.  There's no need for it and nothing is gained from it but hurt, so just think about that the next time you wanna start going off on how crappy of a relationship you have.  Now that talking behind backs has been discussed I feel it's even more important to watch what you say to their face!  A large number of my friends in relationships that fight like crazy, all gloves are off and they're going in for the kill.  Why? Why? Why? I absolutely HATE seeing my hubby hurt!  In a fit of anger or not I never want to intentionally be a cause of pain to him.  If you aren't really that concerned about that point, then I guarantee you, you're in the wrong relationship or possibly shouldn't be in one!  Stay respectful to eachother.  It is vital in a relationship that mutual respect is given.  And remember this, "If the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, water your own damn lawn!"

That's all for now!

START NOW!!!

     Okay, in the past my hubby and I have been very spoiled with a Christmas bonus at the first of December making the holiday shopping very easy on the finances.  Most people are not as lucky...and now neither are we.  To make a long story very short, we no longer get the Christmas bonus.  At first when I found out I freaked out, but sat on the computer looking at the budget and we made a plan.  In this economy very few of us can actually save money.  The second we get a paycheck it's gone on bills and somehow we're still behind.  I'll get into finaces in another post, for now I'd like to stick with Christmas shopping becuase I think a lot of people can benefit from this plan. 
     Department stores know that this year spending will not be what it has been in the past so more and more are offering layaway plans.  Layaway is PERFECT for Christmas. Here are a few stores that I know are doing layaway this year, although I'm sure there are more: Walmart, Kmart, Sears, Best Buy, Toys R Us, TJMaxx, Marshalls, Burlington Coat Factory, among many others. Depending on what your budget is for Christmas you'll need to decide when you should start shopping. 
I should have started earlier, but August is my starting point.  I am going to start shopping here pretty soon and I'll be putting nearly everything on layaway.  This also helps with the price gouging that a lot of stores do during the holidays, so if you beat the holiday season you get more for less. You can add more to your layaway as you pay more things off.  Have a certain amount set aside in your budget, no matter how small, and make sure the full amount goes to the layaway program.  Try never to just pay the minimum. Get the gifts paid off as soon as you can.
     Alright, so now you've got a pretty steady stream of gifts coming throughout the upcoming months.  What do you do with them? If you have little peekers like I do even the best hiding spots are rarely enough.  We've decided to rent a small storage unit for $25 a month and keep everything Christmas oriented in there.  It helps with the clutter we get at Christmas and keeps prying eyes out!
     Financial stress does a lot to a person and a relationship.  Christmas is the worst time of year for financial issues because there is so much going out and some parents like myself tend to overdue it at Christmas and end up putting us in a financial bind until tax time. This plan not only helps guarantee a less stressful Christmas but it'll help you actually have an enjoyable one :)

That's all for now!

Struggling through pain

We all have days where our bodies are in a lot of pain. It's when those days go on and on and on with no relief that I can't handle. I'm in a lot of pain today and am not dealing well. My poor little ones are stuck being entertained by the television and are eating snacks! I've had to turn to pain pills waiting on a surgery to fix my messed up insides; and I'm far from happy about that. 99% of the time my marijuana is enough to cure whatever is ailing me, but not this time :( So many people struggle with chronic pain and with the epidemic of prescription medication abuse on the rise it's very scary!! I know personally that if I would have taken better care of my body all these years I might not be in this spot. We don't exercise or eat well enough to keep our bodies in the shape they could be in. But if you're like me it's not as easy as joining a gym and working out; I have too many pain issues for that. Doing yusomething small like a two block walk would be perfect to start, but just do something. It's hard for me too but something's got to start! I read something online about being more compassionate with ourselves, caring more about our bodies and our mental health. The better we feel about ourselves the more likely we are to take better care of our health. For the longest time I literally didn't care about my health, figured I'd always be lucky and the lived the famous saying "nothing serious would happen to me". I have been lucky compared to some though, I will say that. But it's definitely time for me to start taking better overall care of my body and work on being kind to myself...if you don't love yourself, nobody else will!

That's all for now :)

Peace out!

Malcolm and Anya-The new members of the Family

Ah, the joys of bringing a new puppy home! The excitement is over the top, everyone wants to hold it, and most of the time we make a trip to Walmart to pick up cute little puppy toys. If you're like me you'll be picking out little outfits too! But then it sets in...training! Very few people are actually fully prepared for a puppy before they bring it home. I know we weren't!
Anyways, we just got two new frufru papillion puppies and we are crate training. It's the best way I've found to potty train a new puppy. The whining gets a bit much, but so far it's working well. It sucks to have to put your brand new little baby in a crate, but you HAVE to!!!
Humans and dogs can have very special relationships! I'm so excited for mine to grow with the new ones! We currently have a houseguest with dogs of her own and she is literally a dog whisperer and teaching me so much about training a better behaving dog. There are many trainers and training schools in pretty much every town. I think that every pet owner should consider some sort of pet training because it really does result in a better behaving dog and better best friend later on :)

That's all for now!

Peace out....
